Yeong-ae and I leave the school together. Then Jung-hee came to us and hold my hand. I smile at her when I saw her. Jung-hee and Yeong-ae frown as they look at each other. I feel awkward from between them. Everyone is silent. I say trying to normalize the situation.
"It's very hot today, isn't it? Are you guys want to go for ice cream?"
I look at both of them. Jung-hee takes one look at Yeong-ae before smiling.
"I will go. whether anyone else goes or not."
Yeong-ae says hurriedly, seeing Jung-hee agree.
"I'll go too."
I laughs at Jung-hee and Yeong-ae's actions.
"Where are you going?"
Suddenly hearing someone's voice, we look back. As we looked back, we saw Taewon. Basketball in hand. Jung-hee asks, surprised to see Taewon.
"Aren't you the one who was asking Se-ra that way this morning? You don't look like you belong in this school. "
"Yes babe, I'm a University student. And my name is Taewon."
Taewon winked at Jung-hee. I say annoyed.
"Are you trying to flirt with her? If so, let you know she has a fiance."
"So what? The marriage has not done yet! And even if she is married, if I do not have a flirt with such a beautiful girl, then my masculinity will be questioned. "
I look at Taewon once with annoyance. I continues walking without another word. Yeong-ae walks over to me, looking at Taewon once in annoyance.
Jung-hee whispers to Taewon,
"We're going for ice cream. You can come if you want."
Jung-hee then runs after Su-jin. Taewon smiled and followed them.

Me, Jung-hee, Yeong-ae and Taewon leave the convenience store with ice cream.
"We can go to the arcade if we have time." Jung-hee says.
"Huh arcade... who goes there?"
Hearing Yeong-ae's words, Jung-hee said with a Grimace.
"Huh....who's asking you? Su-jin, you will go, right!"
"We can go. Since tomorrow is holiday."
"So Su-jin, me and Taewon oppa will go. And you go home and sleep bye.... bye...."
Jung-hee addresses Yeong-ae. Yeong-ae looks at Jung-hee angrily. I say with a sigh.
"If you keep arguing like that, I"ll be go home. "
"Yeong-ae, isn't that your brother?"
Taewon points forward with his finger. Everyone looks where Taewon points. Yohan is taking a picture of a small street cat. Seeing Yohan, Yeong-ae calls out to Yohan.
"oppaaaa—"
Yohan looks at them then walks over to them. Taewon narrowed his eyes as he approached them.
"What are you doing here?"
"We came here to eat ice cream. But what are you doing here?" I said.
"I was just going out to take some pictures."
"Oppa if you have nothing to do then come with us to the arcade." Yeong-ae said.
" But you said you wouldn't go...."
Hearing Jung-hee's words, Yeong-ae glared at her.
"Me?" Yohan said a little surprised.
"Yeah, let's go. It'll be fun." I say.
"Hey, don't force him if he don't want to go." Taewon says.
"Why are you talk in the middle? You're going too?"
"Yes, Taewon oppa will go too." Jung-hee said with a smile.
"I will go"
Before Jung-hee can finish, Yohan says hurriedly. Yohan Taewon both looked into each other's eyes. Taewon continued to smile.

Coming to the arcade, everyone plays like themselves. Taewon play basketball shooting game. He makes many points one by one. Jung-hee compliments this.
"oppaaa....you do too gooodddd. Right Su-jin?"
Hearing this I look at them.
" Yeah, you do well." I say without a thought.
Yohan gets jealous seeing Taewon gets compliment from others. Specially from Su-jin.
"Huh.... What else is this? I can make more points than that."
"ayyyyy.... do you want a match?"
"yeah sure. why not!..."
Taewon and Yohan have a match.
Taewon score-60
Yohan score-58
Taewon won with 60 score. Yohan is upset to see Taewon win.
"You played very well. But I'm a pro at this game."
Taewon smiled and held out his hand to Yohan. Yohan shakes hands with Taewon. Then he looked sharply and said,
"Today my luck was not good so I lost. But don't think that winning a little game means winning everything. "
Taewon doesn't reply to Yohan's words, just keeps smiling. After that everyone started enjoying themselves. Yeong-ae keeps playing with the coins in the claw machine. Yeong-ae manages to pull out a doll after playing with a lot of attention.
Yeong-ae is more than happy to take out the doll. Yeong-ae hugs Jung-hee happily. Jung-hee is a bit surprised. As Yeong-ae regains consciousness, she pulls away from Jung-hee. Jung-hee laughs as Yeong-ae walks away in embarrassment.
__
Everyone is standing outside the arcade. Jung-hee and Taewon say goodbye to everyone and leave. Brother Yohan, I and Yeong-ae stand.
"I have something important work. So I won't go home now. I"ll go alone." Yeong-ae says.
"What work? Can you go alone at night? Am I go with you?" Yohan said in a worried tone.
"I can go. And it will take me a lot of time. What do you do there? Instead, do one thing and Su-jin home. "
"No, you don't have to go home now. I can go alone."
Hearing my words, Yeong-ae pinches brother Yohan's hand when he don't saying anything.
"Ouch..."
Brother Yohan screams as Yeong-ae pinches. As I look at he, he pretends to swatt away the mosquito and then laughs in embarrassment.
"Lots of mosquitoes... hahaha"
I doesn't say anything to Yohan's words.
Seeing Yohan not saying anything, Yeong-ae says, "Then I went go now. Look what you two do. Go together or separate. Bye-bye...."
Yeong-ae leaves. Brother Yohan says as Yeong-ae leaves.
" It's late at night. It's probably best not to go alone. Am I go with you? "
I think for a moment and say, "Okay."
Yohan is happy when su-jin agrees.
Brother Yohan and I continue to walk down the empty street. We do not say anything. He says with soo much hesitate.
"Su-jin... how do you know Taewon?"
I look at him as he asked. Seeing me staring, he says embarrassedly.
"I asked just normally. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."
I puts my hand over my mouth and laughs after listening to brother Yohan's words. I laugh and he looks on like an idiot. He does not understand that there is something to laugh at his words? Brother Yohan can't find an answer. I stop laughing and say.
"What's not to say! Taewon oppa and I grew up together. Our family lived together in one place. But Taewon's father transferred from the company he worked at so they later moved to another place but Taewon oppa's grandparents lived here. And my relationship with Taewon oppa is like brother and sister. "
"ohhhh"
"Yes, why? did you think of something else?"
"No, there is nothing else to think."
"Taewon oppa often came here to visit his grandparents. We used to spend a lot of time together then. My classmates and everyone else thought we were couple. Taewon oppa and I used to have a lot of fun on this. It's been a long time since we used to act like a couple to fool everyone. "
I laugh at the old memories.
"But you don't seem to have a good relationship with him..." Brother Yohan asks in surprise.
"It was, But in the past. Nothing is the same now."
I falls silent. Brother Yohan doesn't ask any more questions. We two walked silently along in the deserted road.
